COUNTY SCHOOLS FAST ACQUIRING LIBRARIES BUT HALF-DOZEN OF 86 IN THE COUNTY ARE NOW WITHOUT THEM SOME VALUE OF $75 Williford School Latest to Place Order for Forty Dollar Out fit. Of thc 8G rural schools in Anderson county not more than a half dozen are without excellent libraries, according to statistics furnished The Intelligen cer by Miss Maggie M. Carlington, county supervisor of rural chools. The lust institut ?'.rn to avail itself of tho advantages of u library ls the Willi ford school, which has Just placed en order for an outlay of bookB costing $30 and a bookcase costing 910, the entire outfit being selected by Mis? Carlington at the request of the of ficials of the school. At the sanie time that Miss Carling ton placed the order for the new Il bery for the Williford school she or dered $lf> worth of new bookB for the High Fvdnt school and an equal amount of new books for the Barker's Creek school. These books are ex pected to arrive here within the next few days. ? As generally kpown, there ls an ex cellent plan whereby rural schools c%n acquire small libraries. If the pat rons of any sctrjol will raise $10 for library purposes tb? trustees will do nnie si?, the county boara of educa tion a Uko amount and the State board of education $10. With the $50 thus raised, three fourths of the amount, or $30, is invested in books and tha talan ce in a bookcase. When a school already possessing a library wishes to add to the number of books on hand a similar plan is fol lowed. If the patrons of the school will subscribo $r> for this purpose the trustees will donate a similar sum and tho State board of education $5. Un der tut. rules, however, no money will bo appropriated for additional bookB for a library In tho same year that ono is established. In some of tho rural schools of the county there are libraries valued as high as $76. Tho fact that not more than a half dosen of the 86 rural schools are without libraries s'.caks j exceedingly well for the progressive I ness of Anderson county. In the schools where there are libraries ef fective systems are used in lotting tbs books out to the pupils. Small cartis' are kept by the librarian on which the number of the book taken out is entered and the name of the person taking lt. In the back ot each book ls pasted a small label on which tho number of the book, the number of the district, the name of the dis trict and tho name of the county In which the libre ry ls entered. On the label is printed the following rules governnig the use of books: Do not keep a book more than two weeks. Each day over two weeks will cost one cent. Damages to bocks must be paid for. Lost books must be paid for in full. Keep your bands clean. ^ Do not tum down ieaves. Do not mark books. Keep them away from heat and dampness. .Do not wet your Angers to turn a leaf. Read thoughtfully and carefully. Great ont: Disunities are offered even by a email library. SPLENDID SHOW AT THE PALMETTO . r.,?. t.. ] . t . i . ? i .
